years, is greatly against her, yet her

covery.

place a short time last week. Just

These machines are fast taking the
place of the antiquated method of
road making.

The following is Section 4,O35 of
Revised Laws. We publish it pro
bono publico -" The listers shall an
nually take a list of dogs owned or
kept in their respective towns on the
1st day of April, with the owners or
keepers names, and return the same
to the town clerk on Or before the 18th
day of May following. An owner or
| keeper of dog who refuses to answer,
or answers falsely to the listers rela-
tive TO the ownership thereof, shall be
fined not less than $40, to be paid
into the town treasury.
! The Listers are on their annual
tOur-loOking after inventories. Many
have already filled out theirs and hand
ed them in, while others are diligently
at work on them. These are the
times that Try mems cOnsciences-
times, as the Newport Express says,
when /" the fact is to be determined in
every taxpayers conscience whether
| he will be honest, not before men, for
they may never know, but before God
whether he will tell the truth, or
whether with plain oath resting upon
him, he will commit wilful perjury"
We would call the attention of par
ties having money to invest to the
advertisement of II. NJ. Mcfarland.
He represents the Farmers Trust Com
pany, of Fargo, Dakota. This COM
pany is perfectly solid, has for its
managers men. of integrity and good
| judgment; some of whom are we'll
known in this state. The business of
the company is TO place loans upon
the rich and fertile lands of the north
west from its own funds, and sell these
securities, with or without its guaranty,
in the older sections of the east. We
understand that already about SAC, 700
in this county alone has been invested
in the loans of this company. Mr..
Mcfarland has made a personal eX-
animation of the lands on which these
loans are effected and is prepared to
answer all inquiries by mail or person
al interview.
There is but one thing that Conduc-
tor Ranney enjoys better than perpe-
trating joke Oh somebody, and that
is square meal. He is a good feeder,
at home as well as abroad in fact
wherever there is food our friend with
the brass buttons loves to be. Last
Friday, april Ist, he became very
hungry, notwithstanding he had a
hearty breakfast before leaving home,
and when the train rolled into Norris
vile he lost no time in finding his
customary seat in the restaurant. He
at once commenced an onslaught on
the provender, and proceeded to make
away with a potato turnover - so
tempting did it look. He took don't
care-if-l-do bite-but alas a change,
q la instantaneous process, came over
his visage, the potatoes were raw
But never word did he utter. He
continued right on until he had eaten
: il entirely. 1t was no use to try to
e escape notice, as the contortions made
while chewing the raw potatoes, to
say nothing OF the noise in munching
E them, attracted much attention. His
: appetite was quickly appeased and,
stopping just long enough to tell Mary
to "have some more of those nice
l turnovers Tomorrow" he withdrew to
d his car where, after much reflection, ii
: occurred to him that it was April 1st,
e and that the restaurant girls had tried
: TO fool him.
